Meet the Academic Summer Clever Fox 🦊

“Our Clever Fox is clever without needing to prove it. Independent without being isolated. It reads the situation, adapts quickly and always finds a way.” – Helen Lami, CEO.

At Academic Summer, we believe every child has their own unique strengths and talents waiting to be discovered. Our Clever Fox represents the spirit of our camps – curiosity, resilience, creativity and confidence. It reflects the values at the heart of Academic Summer, where education and adventure meet.

This summer, let your child join our Clever Fox community and experience a transformative journey through learning, friendship and discovery. Guided by our innovative CLIL methodology, students improve their English naturally while exploring exciting academic subjects, leadership skills and creative challenges.

Our programmes are carefully designed for every stage of a child’s development:

🦊 Adventurers (7 – 10)
For younger learners discovering the joy of learning through creativity, teamwork and hands-on activities. A nurturing environment where confidence grows naturally.

🦊 Pathfinders (11 – 12)
For curious minds beginning to explore their future interests, develop independence and build communication skills in an international environment.

🦊 Explorers (13 – 14)
For students ready to challenge themselves academically, broaden their horizons and prepare for future pathways including GCSEs, IB and Pre-A Level studies.

🦊 Engagers (15 – 17)
For ambitious young people preparing for university and leadership opportunities through academic pathways, career exploration and our CPD-accredited Be A Leader Programme.

Whether your child dreams of becoming a scientist, entrepreneur, engineer, doctor, coder or creative leader, Academic Summer offers a safe, inspiring and international environment where they can thrive.

Join our Clever Fox this summer and give your child the opportunity to grow in confidence, improve their English and create unforgettable memories. Because clever learners do not just follow the path — they discover new ones. 🦊
